Caturday Flashback With Binga: February 2010

I bet a lot of you have a hard time believing that 2010 was nine years ago! I don’t — I wasn’t born yet. In fact, I’m not sure my mother was even born yet, back in February, when these photos were taken. But Binga was around (in fact, at 9, she was already approaching senior status), and so were Boodie and Sparkle. So let’s see what was going on back then.

Binga and Boodie have always been pals… although sometimes I have to wonder why, because Binga has a habit of grooming Boodie, and then beating her up. She still does it. She did it today in fact, and my human had to make her stop.

Binga and Sparkle weren’t as close. They both wanted to be Top Cat. I think Binga must have won this round, with the shower in the master bathroom.

Sparkle was one of those cats that freaks out when one of the other cats go to the vet, so sometimes she had to accompany Binga or Boodie on their checkups. Binga was the patient here (she had been throwing up, but she checked out okay). You can see Sparkle was not thrilled to be there — and Binga didn’t care.

Of course, Binga and Sparkle still had their moments together.

And when Binga decided to play with a toy, no smart kitty interrupted her!

We always love to see Boodie. Bear licks Ellie and then they fight too. I think it’s a dominance thing. The dominant cat grooms the other cat before attacking them. Or maybe the other cats just don’t like being licked and stand up for themselves bringing a whole world of hurt down on themselves.

As maligned as Binga may seem to be, I think she is one great gal, and I bet you guys get on great off screen- well to the degree that could habit stars do. Lovely to see her being her, and support Sparkle gave too.

Boodie is a beauty (does that rhyme on purpose? I think it might!). Tortoise are one of a kind and we are always happy to see her and Binga too! Iâ€™m glad they all get along at least part of the time. We have heard that females donâ€™t always mesh unless raised together.
